@Carrie *******

I am starting to accept that you are right. For Free Spirits/Social People, Lockdowns are hell. But for a lot of people its not that big of a change: people have been addicted to screens for years, people use Amazon & not retail stores, etc. Also, OCD/Anxiety disorder people love 'em (tons in my family!) So, politicians will continue to snap into lockdowns. Dang....

@Nick *****

Hi, I always misspell that and I'm a writer. And I had a Colombian girlfriend?!? Anyway, I hear ya. But I am not looking for a paradise...I just want to get the F*ck out of NYC. I don't think people outside of New York realize how severe the restrictions are here. The city I love is dead, maybe I'll send you a video. Thx for the info.

@Danny ******

I'm a great person to answer that: "I do not know" My boys in the Caribbean have been telling me for months: "Go to Mexico/Columbia" Why didn't I listen?...All I can say is that NYC is no place for a cool dude & 9 months of severe lockdown has affected me psychologically (100% serious). So, maybe the answer is that f*cked up people can't always think straight. I'm so happy I came to my senses (the NY Thai Consulate losing my passport was the trigger...details on my next post. Thx

1. I'm asympto..I have honestly never, ever had even a cold in my life (my mom is same way). Plus, COVID is EVERYWHERE..its just that since most people only get a running nose, nobody notices. Not happy, I'd rather be in Thailand!

@Paul ****************

No. I had a Columbian girlfriend when I was younger. I went there and the people aren't as nice as in Thailand -not even close. Dudes are as aggressive as the Caribbean dudes-not cool. Stick with Thailand!

@Robert ********

Thanks Robert. But I ain't no tourist I applied for a RT visa & was/am planning to stay for years & use Thailand as my base. All we can hope for is a miracle -hang in there, bud. Thx

@Paul ****************

I'll be there in '22, trust me. As an FYI, I paid in full for ASQ-no refund! (I always admit doing idiot actions -it helps me cope!) Thx

@Benjamin *****

But I'm not. I got a retirement visa! Definitely, definitely not open for general tourists! Thx.

@Karim **************

Whatever. I'm just sharing what my attorney told me. I don't understand why more people don't just hire a lawyer. Especially since the situation is very dynamic right now. Thx.

@Corey ******

admin is really good. He answered one of my questions also.
